Frankie 8,570 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Not the result we wanted but, all things considered, a good one. Lots of talk about our fans but they were a 12th (well, 11th) man tonight so credit to them & the players for a positive reaction to adversity. A lot of hard work to be done in Armenia but we remain big favourites. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,749 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 That bit of spark by Wright, then the tenacity of him, Bassey and Hagi really got us going. Next week, Kamara will be back and hopefully stabilize the midfield. You would hope we start with Wright straight away. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,724 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Not a great start to the season so far, however the players just need to keep working their way out of it, and I'm sure they will 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I left out kent and lundstram from my team selection before the match for the simple reason that they have done nothing this season to warrant a starting place in the team. I was proven correct. But im more concerned that our manager can continually stick by under achievers hoping they come good. Our manager needs to up his game and see whats staring him in the face. Its already cost us the CL and if hes not careful it could cost us the league. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,570 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 We asked for a reaction in the 2nd half and we did get one - even if we were still a bit sort in terms of quality at times. Scott Wright added some much needed confidence whilst Aribo and Bassey were excellent down our left hand side alongside some hard work from Hagi and Davis which provided what was, IMO, still a deserved win against, IMO also, a very poor side. The 2nd leg might be different but with Kamara returning for the away game, we must go to Armenia, control and game and score the goals that will take us into the Europa League for the 4th successive year which is no mean feat. Let's not forget the positives on our haste to be critical. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he's had a bad start to the this season but he remains one of our best players and every single Rangers player, past and present, goes through bad periods. It always surprises me just how negative some people can be. Usually the same faces right enough but still, a surprise now and again. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans would have been very frustrated last season as they had very little to moan about! and they actually believe they are a better manager than SG ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,570 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 A few words for Scott Wright. I doubt anyone knew much about him at Aberdeen but in the last two games he's grown into a Rangers player who is happy to accept creative responsibility and work hard defensively. Potential is obvious - credit to the scouts for identifying it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
